About the wine:
All the distinctive character of the appellation is encapsulated in this straightforward and precise Premier Cru. Its pale gold color with green highlights is the first indication. The nose combines exotic fruits with a slightly smoky, vegetal undertone. The palate, full-bodied and dominated by citrus, rests on a lively, taut mineral backbone. Harmony from start to finish. 2028–2033
